A second Sperry’s Moviehouse will be opening on the west side of the state in early 2019.

Developer Chuck Reid said his team thoroughly enjoyed building Sperry’s Moviehouse in downtown Port Huron and thought it would be a great investment in their own community in Holland. Reid said it is also another opportunity to showcase his signature theater seats and other design services as well.

The $3 million to $4 million project will also aim to capture the boutique theater intimacy. The largest theater will seat 49 people. The movie house will have 10 screens.

While the theater is on the other side of the state and will be developed inside a new building, it will also be called Sperry’s Moviehouse.

“We decided the story of bringing new life to the most iconic building in downtown Port Huron was worth sharing with other communities,” Reid said. “Sharing the history of Sperry’s is special to our organization and will continue to be one of our corporate values. We think it’s a fabulous story and one we are most proud. Creating a new brand is challenging but when it’s as successful as the original, why mess with success?”

The movie house construction will start in February. It will be located on Eighth Street in downtown Holland. The same builder that Reid contracted with to develop Sperry’s is currently in the process of redeveloping an entire city block in Holland. GDK Construction is spending $8 million on the project. Sperry’s will be a tenant of the new building. Part of the development includes the construction of a 380-space parking garage. Reid said free parking and additional parking spaces were part of the agreement requirements before Reid would commit to developing the theater.

Reid said this new development will not impact the development of CityFlats Hotel in Port Huron. He said his intention is to start construction on the Port Huron hotel this fall and open in 2018. Reid said work is moving along behind the scenes for the hotel.

The original Sperry’s Moviehouse opened in downtown Port Huron at the end of 2016. The project was announced in December 2014 and construction began in March 2016. Originally Reid had planned to open CityFlats Hotel in the building, but changed his mind when he purchased the old Michigan National Bank building at 802 Military St. in February 2015. Reid also owns CityFlats Hotels in western Michigan and Charter House Innovations, which manufactures and designs seating and décor.
